The 'Sweet' Fight

The sweets were having a long squabble,
Who was the best? That was the problem.

"I'm the prettiest of the lot!"
said the strawberry lollipop.
"You!" snorted caramel toffee.
"You look more like a mop
to me."

"I'm not pretty,
but I'm tasty."
Said the chocolate
Who was not very friendly.

"You are too expensive,
but we are nice and cheap."
Squeaked the chocolate drops,
Who thought themselves sweet.

The sweets were busy fighting,
No one noticed the fridge
opening.
The kid of course took the best,
And THEN the sweets knew who was finest!
